This book spans the Turkish Empire's expansion from the conquest of
Constantinople to that of Crete, and recounts the story of
Barbarossa, whom S leyman the Magnificent appointed commander of
the imperial navy, and many other highlights of Ottoman history.
Katip Celebi is one of the classic authors in the Turkish language,
and this book is his key historical study. Although it was
reprinted numerous times in the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish
Republic, the only previous English edition was a 19th-century
translation of the first part of the book. This new edition
comprises a reprint of this text plus new commentary by Svat
Soucek, an internationally renowned scholar of naval history. The
editor also provides a new introduction and extensive summaries and
translates highlights of pertinent passages in the previously
untranslated texts. The few early Turkish editions embellished with
lavish illustrations have never been available to general readers,
except for those with access to the rare books departments of
leading research libraries. This is the first English-language
edition to reproduce those illustrations.
